landyandy Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 not a bad day was had today reffited electrics and she fired up,moved her about to make working on it easier.did quite a few mundane jobs on bits and pieces and also got the other 12 plugs working which makes an improvement in running parameters . rest of the work now is just fiddly bits and pieces on winch and refit the gue and get that working,also to fit an alternator for the 12v system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 You're running an entirely separate 12V system? :shocked: Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RecyMech Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Keep at it Andy...still very much looking forward to seeing (& hearing) her run properly. Who gets the honour of the first thrash over the slab by the way ? H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RecyMech Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Andy, Looking at the various books & publications I have on Conq, it seems the driver controls are laid out the same as Cent (well the gun tank anyway)....is it just like driving a slightly bigger Cent then ???? Left stick driver ! H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landyandy Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 yes its very simalar except more room in the conq but you have to be aware how wide you are and how long,but you have better vision than the cent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landyandy Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 and i would go as far to say the controls on the conq are lighter than the cent having driven both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landyandy Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 good day had today got 12v alternater fitted and wired in and started work on engine control box for j60,using a modifided chieftain gue control box to keep things simple.also quite a few other little niggly faults and awkward fiddly jobs completed,next week get the winch working hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landyandy Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 good day had again,had her running with brand new plugs in what a difference it makes,allthough we had 2 new plugs that were duff,tested them in our plug tester before fitting,so just shows new is not allways perfect,had the engine running to test the new 12v altenator belt set up,runs perfect considering its not on a pulley one end as picture shows,bit of a performance getting the belt on,had to drop the mainshaft off to fit,needed a couple of midgets to get in there haha also in pics is the new race spec fuel regulator that a. keeps fuel at constant pressure regardless of engine speed and b. when you switch off it dumps all the remaining pressure to tank so in case of fuel pipe burst or leak so no petrol under pressure. sideways and left a bit john and andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
